Please do not hesitate to reapply again for some of y’all who got denied. Trust me it is just a setback and shouldn’t shake you one bit. Interestingly, i am surprised most folks with huge funding still got denied. Probably the VOs are now stricter or they want some sort of stellar speech from you. Prepare diligently, Pray and Reapply again. For everyone preparing for their interview soon, Please prepare diligently and be careful with the way you respond to some questions. The VO knows when you are just saying it like you crammed it and not making a convincing statement. Look into their eyes, and respond with calmness, yet with an outspoken tone. I wish everyone the best. 12 Likes |

charleymed:Yes, this is possible. Your visa is valid from the date you were given till the expiry date that’s on it. You can defer to the next available term in as much you get an updated I-20 that shows your new program start date, then you can travel to the US anytime with your acquired visa before your program start date. This is my opinion. Others can enlighten on this if they know better |

mojolajesu:No, it doesn’t reduce your chances in any way. I’m a living case study to that and I’m sure there are thousands who were in the same boat. Not preparing enough for the interview and not having required documents reduces your chances, in my opinion. 2 Likes |

Tylerbaby: Hello bro. I reached out to my school about this and I was told the Covid relief grant was given to permanent residents students and citizens but not international students. I was told to reach out and ask how international students qualified and received this. So please can you enlighten how international students received this in your school? 1 Like |

Here is my visa approved transcript Program: Computer Science (Msc) COA: 42k Funding: Graduate assistantship Deficit: 37k GOD IS THE GREATEST VO: I see you are going to pursue a masters program in Computer science at bleep university Me: Yes, that’s correct Vo: What do you do for a living Me: I work as an inventory data analyst at bleep company where i develop performance metrics and establish ad-hoc reporting to enhance department efficiency. Vo: Alright, Why this university ? Me: I chose this university because it offers students the opportunity to engage and participate in capstone projects of the school which students can leverage as graduate experience. Also, during an email conversation with Dr Bleep, the Graduate Program director, i was informed bleep university offers graduate internship programs just within the two years course of studies, the school has a strong collaboration with the industry which i believe would help me harness the advanced skills and theoretical knowledge of what is taught in class for practical applications in real life scenarios. Vo: what is your plan after completing your program? Me: I’ll be coming back to Nigeria to seek reabsorption in my present organization as they have an understanding with me and has given me a 2 years study leave, so i plan on returning to them with the skills i have acquired through this course to help develop innovative and cutting edge solutions that address challenges we face in the company… Vo: Cuts in, who is sponsoring you? Me: I have a graduate assistantship and will be sponsored by Bleep business, owned by my elder brother. Vo: what does he do? Me: He is an established business man who is into large scale farming in the south western part of the country, he also owns some landed properties and apartments in Bleep state some of which he rents out for residential and commercial purposes. Vo: types for long.. I will be approving your visa. Bla bla bla Me: (With a big smile). Thank you very much. Key Points to Note: The interview lasted for 3 mins 1. Please pray and pray and pray. Honestly I would say God favored me during this interview process, because the Vo which was a white female actually denied two applicants, and i was trying to escape her so I can get interviewed by the white male but as God would have it, we were shifted and i was called by the female VO and God did his work 2. Please prepare and study and speak to an object or something you can focus on while answering your questions during your practice, this really helped me cos i have little difficulties with staring at people in the eyes while talking. I stared at her throughout the whole interview 3. Please be honest and speak the truth with what correlates in your ds-160 form. 4. Now, i feel i have to share this last one with y’all cos I know someone might need it in advance. If you are going to be using your sponsor’s business account for getting your I-20, please have your school make this known on your I-20 , it was just Yesterday that it got dawned on me that my I-20 was showing family funds instead of company funds as sponsor on my I-20, whereas I already filled my sponsor’s business name on my ds-160. Thankfully to God, my school changed the “family funds” to “company funds” on my I-20 and even indicated my sponsor’ business name and his personal name which is my elder brother on the remarks section. Trust me, this really matters if you are going to be using your sponsor’s company statement of account. Everything as to match with your ds-160. Even thankfully for me, I wasn’t asked for my brother’s company statement of account. 5. Thanks to everyone who has posted their transcripts, I really took plenty cues from them cos honestly it helped me prepare well, Good-luck to everyone waiting for their interview. Just be confident and PRAYYYYYYY. 32 Likes 6 Shares |

Hello everyone, I have a friend who needs some help and clarification on the sponsor filling on the ds-160 form. His elder brother is his sponsor but it’s his business statement of account he wants to use cos he has enough funds there. He used his brother’s business name and statement of account for the I-20 and indicated his brother’s name as the official representing the agency. Now the question is should he use his brother’s name while filling the sponsor information on the ds-160 or should he use his brother’s business name. Please respond guyss. Thank you |

beejhay69:As regards to this, i have a question. Do you think it’s advisable to have multiple ds-160 confirmation numbers as one already submitted a former one and it’s stored in their database. Does it have no negative effect whatsoever if one makes another edited ds-160 and submit it?? |

Hello guys. I have a quick question. How does one view the submitted information on the ds-160 form. I just one to cross check and verify if i put in the right info in a delicate section. Is it possible and advisable to use the existing application number to create a new application for the ds-160 just to check and review some information without submitting? Will this affect the already submitted data somehow. Pls I’d appreciate any help on this. I just want to view and cross check info on the ds160 website for an already submitted application and i have already booked my appointment |

I kinda feel Workforce wants to first complete the Sterling bank recruitment process before they start conducting this program. Just a random thought tho. 1 Like |
